Forgiveness

~ a simple poem for a global christmas Collaboration.

 

 

Life may be a complicated mess

It may bring many unseen test

A presence of someone lost, says sorry

Forgiveness overflows is as sweet as merry

Forgiveness is something that we all need to heal our broken soul. Very inspiring pax.

Indeed, Christmas is time for forgiveness
So forget hurtful words that once been hurled
Like the birth of Christ in a humble place
It could spark light to a more peaceful world.

Merry Christmas in advance!

[Pax]

Merry Christmas din sayo... :)

I like that reponsive poem, thank you. Well expressed and true. I missed the shining lights of christmas there sa atin, iba talaga kay sa dito, they don't spend Christmas here or even new year, that is why its my another cold holiday season. I appreciate you always Gab.

WOW! Just Beeautiful!! Powerful in such few words, Life can be that way at times, complicated and in such disarray we don't know where to go or what we should do, but forgive those we should forgive. I have been there, hurt too, and sometimes feel as if, why me, why does society have to be so ugly. But for me, I prevail and see good that shines through and all it DOES offer me me or that's wonderfully given to me. You have much goodness in and of yourself, as I and others who sincerely and greatly LOVE what you write and more for the person you are and those that know maybe even more than us here. No better time to forgive. But anytime it's surely needed is best too. Keep up the great writes as always my friend.

You warm my heart my friend, with that I am always grateful and thankful. Life can be so ugly, we've experienced that, yet despite that, we see the optimism in hard times, we straggle yet we survived - we learned - we forgive, let go & move on... the life cycle of experienced. I learned many things in writing my thoughts and emotions, with that i learned more of who I am as a person, the mistakes and struggles I am in... the road is still a long journey... thank you for giving a warm words my friend, I truly appreciate that...

[BlackRose]

I couldn't agree more. That's what makes us more stronger and stronger too to what may lie ahead. The same goes for me more so when I write. And also for me, tending to open myself up a slight bit more to what I normally would not put down but would have it kept in my thoughts or other then to the pubic like here when writing. You are sooo very welcome my friend. Anytime. And Merry Christmas to you. Hope your holiday is a bright, happy one. *

This is really beautiful MR Pax. Splendid work sir

[Pax]

Thank you so much my friends, it's always a pleasure to see you come by, and advance Merry Christmas to you...

[Horizon K.]

That would be one of the best gifts of all, I think...True apologies and forgiveness, to reunite with a loved one lost... Lovely thoughts Pax, for your Christmas collab contribution.

[Pax]

Thank you my friend, it's the best gift for the best season of the year. There is something about this season that every apologies makes it so specail. Perhaps this season for me is the warmest time for giving and loving your love ones. Advance Merry christmas my friend.

This is beautiful and a beautiful four lines for our Emma.... I mailed with Emster tonight, and I was still struggling, about the four lines, but they will come, I think you've just captured the season very well in your words here. Personally for the many hurt you've been through the couple of weeks, and I've felt you on distance, with this pain... you know what I'm talking about, it was and still is a time, in hurt, and loss...

So this one goes deep with me, for that reason I'm solidary, and (for me personally the season of Christmas has a much richer meaning than sitting on the table eating so much you can't anymore)... In my thoughts, I was never that burgois ever... I remember 2005, the Tsunami, in my country, where I lost many, of family, and Christmas will be never the same, for some reason. So, I shall be happy, (at least I try to smile), but I have a deep deep burden inside of me, through the true meaning of the feast.... Sceptic, yes, honest too, pure maybe... but I just love peace and love, and all the food, and candles I don't care for...... :) I just wished we were together Bro, that would be awesome....

Thank you for sharing this one. You're never alone. Although we should look on the positive site of all, it has a true (hard-balance) for me. But I loved this one. You always nail it. Well done x

Big tight hugs, I feel you big sis. Thank you so much. Sometimes I feel like I am losing my mind, being alone makes you stronger(i guess) but in so many ways you are susceptible to many dark sides, but then again as long as you have your balance, you’ll never lose your way towards a better you. It may be a challenge, but I am sure I won’t give up.

“You're never alone” ~ those simple lines makes me happy, know that always. Because more often I always feel I am too alone in this world that I hated myself more for being a coward of many things or just have too many uncertainties in life that I need to shove off… I am thankful that I have found wc and my friends here, for that I would not survive this hard times… I am always grateful to all… many, many hugs to you big sis…

Oh it does makes you stronger, to the bones.... yes. I know where you are, and how you feel lovely one. Exactly, there is balance, and I try to get out of this black hole lol... I will....as you too, we have been to too much lately both. I think. I will never lose myself, I promise. No way, you're never alone, you're family! :) and with christmas we are together even in distance. :) You're never a coward dear, remember it, you're one of the most perceptional persons on the Cafe, here I know, and you're raw, honest and real, there is nothing more beautiful than that. You learn people values, and things, and are ever so social, and supporting. We miss you when you're not around lovely! :) Many many hugs to you too, and we chat soon! must leave now sigh, could go on forever he he... xx (((say hi to Mrs Belle for me too))) miss her muchly! love to you and keep on smiling and being the "beautiful YOU" x

[Pax]

Oh, I will tell her that, I miss her too, she's been busy lately as always. Thank you big sis, your words makes a cold christmas warm in the heart. Merry Christmas to you.

Oh great you tell her.... I think a lot on here miss her!!! Merry Christmas to you too already!!! hugs!

For the greatest holiday of the year(atleast for me). Forgiveness is the best simplest gift you could offer to someone who is lost or broken. Thank you dear friend... I always appreciate you...

[Renée]
